M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

17

Looking back my tired eyes become so clear
And my 20/20 vision reappears
Its funny how some feelings, never fade it seems
And what became reality is now a dream

I used to sit across from you and we'd pass notes
With each pretty smile my heart knew, exactly what it hoped
But the pain of losing someone, wouldn't allow this heart to see
That what I really wanted sat right in front of me

Chorus
Since I was 17
You've been with me
No matter where life goes I'll always hold these feelings
I doubt you'll ever know the pain of losing whats not gained
But for now it's just a dream and not the truth

They say that time can heal almost any wound
But what lingers insn't loss, it's wanting you
Cause down through the years, the answer remains clear
My heart still tells my mind just what to do

Why does what is right sometimes feel so wrong
I'd deny myself this truth but I'm not that strong
In the back part of my mind, is where I know that this should stay
But you're the first thought on my mind every single day

Chorus
Since I was 17
You've been with me
No matter where life goes I'll hold these feelings
I hope you never know the pain of losing whats not gained
But for now it's just a dream and not the truth

I wonder if you've ever woken at daylight
From a dream where I had kissed and held you tight
Or maybe we made love, on some beach out in the sand  
And for a little while I got to be your man

20 years have passed and I still feel the same
Its hard believing a heart, can hold on to such pain
I've been cheating on myself, in the arms of someone else
And I probably only have myself to blame 

Chorus
Since I was 17
You've been with me
No matter where life goes I hope that you can see
There's still a man who'll always dream of being your everything
May you go on always knowing that it was you

As I go on living life and loving you.....
